Falken WinterPeak F-Snow 1. It's one of the cheapest winter tires - about $80/tire in the 195/65R15 size - but test results show it competes well with the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5, Continental VikingContact 7, and Michelin X-Ice Snow, which are the gold standards in premium winter tires. It looks like the Falken suffers a little with dry handling, so just don't drive your Corolla like a sports car. The Falken is still competitive in the wet, snow, and ice, which is where it really matters.
Have 15k on our DWS06 plus tires, about one third worn, should get 40k without much trouble, and I'm running the factory staggered size, rotate with every 6k mile oil change. Tires have been pretty good, they run quiet, grip decent for an All Season, not bad in the rain (in real heavy rain they can hydroplane a bit). Have ran them in light snow (3" or less) and are fine, as well as good performance when cold.
I have been running 265/75/16's SL with 2 ply standard sidewall for the last 30k miles on a first gen tundra. I run them pretty hard on and off road, including airing down. I haven't had any issues and am hard pressed getting a much heavier tire since these have performed so well
Continental Tire for the win!
Continental ice contact XTRM is absolutely fantastic if you have a Tirecraft near you I believe it is sold there. I have the studded versions and they are amazing.
All four are solid choices. I’d go with the Contis over the other 3 though. Outstanding tire.
The vikingcontact are a top tier tire, but the falken are not far behind. If your budget is limited the falken is a solid option
After having tyre wall damage to my Hankook run-flats, thought of switching to radials for better durability & ride comfort. Such a great decision, indeed! I finalized with Continental UC6 87V.
I run continental extremecontact dws 06+ on my golf. They’re the quietest tire I’ve found for the golf. The tires are ok. Not sport tires but have decent grip. Sidewall is a little soft.
Cheap Chinesium trash, rated at 40k miles but I would be shocked if you got much more than 20k-25k and the warranty is basically non-existent... And "all-season" tires really are 3-season tires these days, if you deal with any snow you want to look at all-weather tires like Falken Aklimate or General Altimax 365AW.
